Fourth Missionary Post

Sometimes I have a stupor of thought
   In keeping the poems alive
But we’ll work on keeping them going through,
   Even though it’s only followed by five.
A “Light the World” program in a nearby park
   Got the season started off right.
They had lots of singers, a big screen too,
   And balloons headed up in the night.
We did a a training in a far away ward,
   Each visit is never the same,
And got the privilege for fighting the herd,
   As we drove home in the driving rain.
We met a couple who were called serve
   To run the the kids treks down here,
They run from January  to April,
   Then are off for some months of the year.
A solitary home on a far away farm,
   Few groceries out in the sticks,
They asked us if we would like to help,
   And all that I thought of was “Ick!”
We are getting better with our good old stove,
   Even though the racks are wavy,
Helen really hit the spot,
   When she made hamburger gravy!
Then even taking the next step up,
  We had an ice cream social,
She baked a cake, got some ice cream here
  And made an ice cream cake roll!
They have had some artisan fairs nearby
   Where craftsman showed off their wares
We got some great looking Nativities,
   To bring Christmas into the air!
We continue to love the people here,
   A couple named Castro came,
 And taught us about loving and serving and such
       Would that all of us could be the same.
  Getting closer to Christmas,
         hope all there are well
  If you have some good Christmas stories,
        We’d like to hear them, tell!
